Default Headlight washers dead?
When I use my windshield washers, all is fine, I can then hear the relay switch and the pump for the headlight washers run, but no pressure is created for the nozzels to pop up, and no fluid is seen to leak from the bottom of the car.
Any ideas? My VW dealer looked at it, but doesn't understand A6's enough to know what to do? Where would I find the pump if I wanted to see if I could fix it?
Thanks All!
Rob

She means that the headlights need to be on for the washers to work.

Default Check your washer fluid level...
the pop up washers take around 100 PSI to pop up and even when there is enough fluid for the windshield washers to work the headlight washers won't

Default Were you having the same problem...
I can hear the secondary pump running. How much did this cost you?

Do the headlight washer jets and windscreen washer jets use the same pump?
